Just what sets Barbara Reynolds apart.
 


My able-bodied assistants, Lucy and Arlo, who give me great pleasure when they're not searching the MLS.

So here's the low-down. I'm one of the top five agents in the Berkeley office of Prudential California. In a previous life, I was a copywriter for advertising and marketing. And somewhere along that 15-year road, I must have picked up some things about how to "package" houses.

My listings in Berkeley and Oakland typically sell well above the average sale price for the specific area. Luck? Maybe. But maybe, just maybe it has something to do with the way I market and advertise, which is a little different that the rest of the corral.


I'm not a cowgirl, but I play one in my dreams. I just tend to think outside the corral as they say.

And for Buyers? Well, in the same way I package houses or properties for sale, I package Buyers. So they can be successful in the hotly competitive East Bay real estate market. In fact, I have a 90 percent success rate in multiple offer situations versus an area average of 20 percent for other real estate agents.

Oh yes, and for those global thinkers out there, I'm in the top 5% nationally of Prudential Real Estate--and a member of the Director's Club and the Leading Edge of Prudential.

Real Estate Tips
Accepting An Offer >Low Offers

In every real estate market, there are buyers who make offers that are far below the current market value of the property. How should you react if your agent brings you one of these "low ball" offers? Here are some scenarios for the seller.

If your home is priced very close to its fair market value, you can simply reject the offer and be reasonably confident that a better one will appear. However, if you have priced your home higher than other comparable homes in the neighborhood, the offer may not be unreasonable.

Ask your real estate agent for advice about the buyer's overall strategy. Do they really want your house or will they move on to another property if you make a counter offer? Can they afford to pay a higher price? Are there ways to close the gap with a small owner take-back, or with terms that will increase your bottom line? Take a hard look at your asking price and explore all your options before saying "no", especially if you are selling in a buyer's market.

"Every Cloud has a Silver Lining" You may have read the recent market update in the SF Chronicle: "The worst December since 1988 in terms of sales volume." That makes me smile. Because to me, that means the worst in pretty much over. Yes, that's very likely the bottom.

I made my first move to the East Bay about 9 years ago straight from a great neighborhood in San Francisco. My friends thought I was crazy to leave San Francisco. But there was something alluring about the grass and trees and flowers of the East Bay.
